N-no fair!


It’s not fair that when they’re young,
scary animals such as coyotes, wild boars, and bears are cute…

I’m surprised when they say that wild boars keep showing up in Japan,
but NY is also a rather dangerous zone with ultra savage squirrels wandering about!
If you think squirrels are lovable things when they’re tiny,
when they’re big, in the wild, cool squirrels have sharp claws like a kitten’s, and a sharp face,
so be on the alert at parks or in trees, and keep an eye on your food.

Halloween!

Belarus
Young children seem to have started enjoying Halloween lately, but they don’t to go around to different houses requesting candy.

Latvia
They’ve had the custom of dressing up in animal and mythological costumes for centuries in order to drive away evil spirits. They go around to lots of houses, dancing. It sounds kind of fun.

Lithuania
November 1st is a day to celebrate saints and ancestors. It seems that this holiday provided a one-month break for everyone way back when, but it’s been shortened to just November first. In recent years, it seems like many young people have started celebrating it like American Halloween.

Estonia
There are lots of real ghosts there so there was an article in Time about how they don’t feel the need to celebrate Halloween. Winters in Tallinn must be scary…
